What inspired you to start your own business?

My name is Jodie Smart, and I am the creator of Sunny Kids Shine ®, which I founded in 2018 to support children in growing up to be secure, resilient, and content young people. I previously worked in education for over ten years, helping children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties (SEMH) and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) - both in mainstream and special provisions. My education includes a BA (Honours) in Childhood Development and Youth Studies, a Mindfulness for Children Diploma and British Sign Language. I also regularly update all Enhanced DBS checks (Disclosure and Barring Service) and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) training. These include training in safeguarding, child protection, trauma, sensory processing, SEND and inclusion, and other areas of relevance and interest.

I used my experience, research, knowledge, and comprehensive understanding to develop the Feelings Detective® model. This program incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teamed with the foundations of Emotional Intelligence, Social Skills, Prosocial Behaviours, Self-Love, Kindness, and so much more!

Why should our clients choose you?

Sunny Kids Shine is an award-winning, tools-based mental health and wellbeing service. Our programs are not a form of therapy intended to ‘fix’ or change you or your children in any way, and it is essential to us that children know there is nothing wrong with them. Everyone has feelings; every feeling is okay, and we can all find our feelings tricky at times. That’s part of being human. Big feelings get smaller when you get to know them and yourselves, just as you are, equipped with the confidence, resilience and contentment to SHINE your beautiful light from the inside out.

Our unique evidence-based programs are all about learning and growing together and are available to children, families and professionals alike. Children learn to N.A.M.E. every feeling in healthy ways, which stands for Notice, Accept, Manage and Express. We don’t believe in simply ‘fighting fires’ or ‘putting plasters on a problem.’ Instead, we work with a holistic approach to create a secure personal, social and emotional foundation from within and an emotionally enabling environment for all.

Our creative, colourful resources and teaching style captivate children, reducing anxiety and making sessions exciting, engaging and fun!

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

All of our services are delivered via Zoom using fun and engaging learning resources and activities curated for different age groups and abilities, so every lesson offers your child the appropriate level of engagement.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

We mainly conduct our sessions using Zoom but do offer some face-to-face sessions. When working in person, we request that you contact us as soon as possible if anyone in your household or setting experiences any potential COVID-19 symptoms, no matter how mild, or has been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. We can then re-schedule your session once you are well enough.

After the counselling session with Miranda, me and my partner feel that our relationship got stronger and it got us closer. Miranda had a non-judgmental and calm approach, and she helped us to understand each other better and the needs of our relationship as a whole. I felt that her approach was experienced and very professional. She gave us great guidance and advice on how to continue and work on our relationship day by day.

We saw Miranda, as we are working to rebuild trust in our relationship. I feel like she was really helpful, and I particularly liked the structure of the therapy, as I think she planned in such a way, where we could both feel free to open up individually, and eventually come as couple. She gave us some good advice on what to improve and how to do it, including some post-appointment exercises to do at home. I really recommend Miranda to anyone who needs some help in their relationship, as I found her really skilled and knowledgeable.
